Heather opens up about her early years growing up in a loving home, encountering meth for the first time at age 13, and the spiral into addiction that would take over much of her young adulthood. From a heartbreaking stillbirth to broken relationships, Heather endured the pain of lost time, trust, and connection — but never completely lost her faith.

With raw honesty, she recounts the darkest moments of her life, the breaking point that brought her to her knees, and the moment she surrendered fully to Jesus. From that surrender came a radical transformation through a faith-based recovery program, healing from trauma, and eventually the restoration of her relationships with her children — one painful but powerful step at a time.

Heather now manages a cafe, runs her own cleaning business, is publishing her first book Healing in the Trenches, and is launching Restore Her Ministries to help other women find healing through Christ.

🔹 In This Episode, You’ll Discover:

What it feels like to lose connection with God — and how to get it back

The miraculous phone call that changed everything with her daughter

Heather’s story is a beacon for anyone who feels unworthy, broken, or too far gone. Her life reminds us that God doesn’t call the qualified — He qualifies the called. Even in the trenches, healing is possible.

Manager of Nannies Café

Owner of Valley Girls Cleaners

Author of Healing in the Trenches (coming soon!)

A Romanian-born wedding coordinator whose story blends shyness, strength, humor, and faith in an inspiring journey from Europe to the heart of the American South.

Kitti opens up about growing up shy but naturally friendly, making instant connections even as a child in Romania. After moving to the U.S., one of her biggest challenges was speaking English. She shares openly how weak her English was at first — and how she overcame language barriers with humility, courage, and a willingness to keep trying, even when she didn’t get it right the first time.

Now a skilled event planner, Kitti finds confidence and purpose in coordinating weddings, where structure and timelines help her shine. She also speaks about the emotional pain of having to cancel her dream wedding in Romania due to COVID, and how the outfits and plans she once carried back home remain there, untouched.

From that heartbreak grew other dreams — like someday owning her own wedding venue. And in a delightful surprise twist, Kitti reveals that she’s also a certified scuba diver, who swam with over 15 sharks on her very first open-water dive!

How she overcame the fear and struggle of learning English

What gives her confidence in the chaos of wedding planning

Kitti’s story reminds us that true strength isn’t always loud. Whether it’s learning a new language, finding clarity in chaos, or daring to dream after disappointment — her quiet courage and humble heart show what it really means to serve with love, grace, and grit.

Wedding coordinator and event planner

Romanian-born, now based in Georgia
